Abstract
This article sets forth the reaction of Britain, the dominant foreign power in the Middle East, to Iraq's persecution and expulsion of its Jewish community between 1948 and 1951. The Foreign Office believed that Iraq was in violation of the commitments that it had made to the League of Nations in 1932 concerning the treatment of its minority communities, and that Britain had the legal right to take Iraq to the International Court of Justice over the issue. However, the British government did not take Iraq to the International Court of Justice or take any other measures against Iraq, largely because the Foreign Office feared damaging Britain's relations with Iraq and thereby jeopardizing Britain's position in the Middle East as a whole.
